Lemmy.world has had endless issues with federation since upgrading to 0.19. It seems there are (right now) 97 instances where Lemmy.world is behind on sending outgoing federation.
We don’t seem to have got any of their new posts for the last 12 hours or so. I’ll flick someone from Lemmy.world a message and see if they are aware.
Basically when you get a steady stream of federation requests, at some point Lemmy can’t keep up because of how each inbound federation triggers outbound requests to get other details. And they are run sequentially, so slow requests block the rest of the inbound federation requests as there’s no queue.
It’s slowly crawling along sending us updates but it’s about 12 hours behind and may not catch up until the other side of the world goes to bed.
Plus it seems it has been getting much worse each day, now it has reached the point of being a problem, I’m hoping tomorrow is not a disaster 😐
It shouldn’t matter if we are federated with the users/voters so long as we haven’t blocked the instance (which is unlikely, we block very few). The instance the community is hosted on is responsible for sending all content from that community to subscribers’ instances, so if we have at least one person subscribed we should see all content we haven’t actively blocked.
TBH I’m also not sure how content shows when you’ve personally blocked the user or instance rather than it being instance blocking.
